SALTICIDiE. 
with red hairs. The minute intermediate eye of each lateral row is nearly equidistant from 
the eyes constituting its extremities. The falces are short, conical, and vertical; the maxillae 
are straight, and enlarged and rounded at the extremity. These organs are of .a yellowish- 
brown colour. The lip is triangular, and the sternum is oval. These parts have a dark-brown 
hue, the latter being clothed with white hairs. The legs are robust, provided with hairs and 
sessile spines, and are of a yellow-brown colour, with dark-brown annuli, the tibiae and meta¬ 
tarsi of the anterior pair having a brown-black hue ; the fourth pair is the longest, then the 
first, and the second pair is the shortest; each tarsus is terminated by two curved claws, below 
which there is a small scopula. The palpi resemble the legs in colour, but are without 
annuli, the digital joint only being tinged with brown; they are densely clothed with white 
hairs, and the radial joint projects a slender, pointed apophysis from its extremity, on the 
outer side ; the digital joint is oval, convex and hairy externally, concave within, comprising 
the palpal organs, which are moderately developed, not very complex in structure, prominent 
at the base, and of a dark-brown colour. The abdomen is oviform, densely covered with 
hairs, convex above, and projects over the base of the cephalo-thorax; a short, white streak 
is directed backwards from its anterior extremity, and a series of curved or slightly angular, 
brown-red lines extends along the middle of the upper part; on each side of the anterior part 
of the series there are three white spots disposed longitudinally in pairs, the two posterior 
ones being the widest apart, and much the largest; the sides and under part are covered with 
white hairs, a few brown-red ones being mingled with those on the former, and a white spot 
occurs immediately above the superior spinners, which have a brown-black hue, that of the 
inferior pair being pale, yellowish-brown.

The cephalo-thorax is nearly quadrilateral; it slopes from the middle towards each 
extremity, and projects a little beyond the base of the falces ; it is glossy, and of a very dark- 
brown colour, with a transverse, curved band of white and yellowish-brown hairs intermixed 
passing behind the eyes, the extremities of which extend to a transverse band of similar hairs
